Good onya Julie. Your earlier video of mask fitting was very helpful before my mask fitting. I recently finished 6 weeks RT on my forehead for a rogue skin cancer.

The National Council of Jewish Women Australia was established just over 100 years ago. As a member of their Allies Committee of non-Jewish supporters, I recently attended their national conference. Here's a video about the history of the organisation. www.ncjwa.org.au/film?fbclid=...

שורדת השבי אמילי דמארי, שנחטפה ל471 בעזה מספרת על הבחירה להסתיר את זהותה כלסבית בשבי החמאס.״הרגשתי שיותר מסוכן אם אני אגיד שאני לסבית מאשר שאני אגיד אם אני ממג״ב״ Former captive Emily Damari, who was abducted and held in Gaza for 471 days, speaks about her decision to hide her identity as a lesbian while in Hamas captivity.“I felt it’s more dangerous to say I’m a lesbian than if I told them that I was a soldier at the Border Police.”
